Is your god God?

The true God can not be defined, but the dictionary does define the word "god." The simplest definition for the word "god" is supreme being. The phrase "supreme being" is often used interchangeably with the word "god." The phrase "supreme being" is on old phrase and we hear and use it so often that we may have never stopped to think what it really means. Supreme means means highest or greatest in importance. Being means something that exists. In more modern terms, therefor, the phrase "supreme being" and word "god" simply mean the most important thing.

We all have things that are important to us or values. Possible values include having money, your family, your lover, your friend, having friends, your spouse, your child, your parents, having sex, having power, feeling loved, being happy, knowing the truth, being respected, logic, an ideology, using a drug, being healthy, having an education, safety, being thin, food, our country, our nationality. If you listed your values and prioritized them from highest to lowest in importance than whatever is at the top of your list is your god at that time. Therefor at any given moment we all have a god. Different peopole have different gods. This god may change from moment to moment as different things become more or less important to us.

The things we value are in themselves good. If they were not good we would not value them. Our values van cause problems, however, when we prioritize them incorrectly. When we put being thin over being healthy we can become anorexic. Being thin is a good thing but it becomes a problem ween we put undue emphasis on it. Our jobs and carers are good things but if we put to much undue value on them we can become workaholics.The same can be said of all the things we could possibly value except God.The reason for this is that Gos is the true supreme being. When we make something other than God our god than it will csause us problems because nothing other than God is the true supreme being.

Throughout a lifetime any single person may have had many different gods.

While the true God is the true supreme being, the phrase "supreme being" does not define the true God, because the true God is more than the supreme being. The true God may or may not be our god depending on if the true God is the most important thing to us at any given moment or not. Weather wi admit it to ourselves or not at every moment of our life we have a god. So while it is true that there is only one true God there are hundreds if not thousands of gods. The question is nor whether we have a god but: Is your god God?

It is like truth. There are two kinds of truth; objective truth and subjective truth. Objective truth is how reality is. My subjective truth is how I think reality is. At Some points my subjective my agree with the objective truth, at other points it does not. There is only one objective truth but we each have our own subjective truth. Our objective truth may change over time. It may become closer to the objective truth or get farther away from it. Problems arise in areas where our subjective truth does not match with the objective truth. So, in the same way, the question is not weather we think we have the truth or not but does our subjective truth match the objective truth.
